Taylor came up for his cup-of-coffee with the Detroit Tigers at the age of 23 and went on to post a record of 0-1 with an earned run average of 5.23 over 10.1 innings.
It would be his only time spent on a Big League mound as he’d return to the Minors in 1970, where he’d play the final two years of his Pro career in Detroit’s system before retiring for good.
Before his call-up in 1969 he had a nice year in the Minors, going 15-8 with a 3.41 ERA over 37 games, 17 of which were starts. Easily his finest season of his six-year professional career.
